How to handle keyboard events in Vue
Tuesday, January 13, 2026
Keyboard event handling is essential for accessibility, keyboard shortcuts, and improving user experience in web applications. As the creator of CoreUI with over 12 years of Vue.js experience since 2014, I’ve implemented keyboard navigation in countless enterprise applications. Vue provides event listeners with key modifiers to easily capture specific key combinations and keyboard interactions. This approach enables keyboard shortcuts, form navigation, and accessible interfaces without complex event handling code.
